skin deep by Yousaf Ali Khan part 1 / crew/ my fav bits



Romo, a mixed race boy, half English, half Pakistani, who lives in a run-down, all white neighbourhood. Passing as white, he has to confront his identity when his skinhead gang target a young Asian boy.
Crew


Andy Cowton






Bits I really Like:

  • When he takes his sister through the back route rather than going the quicker way, we first see that he is embarrassed of being with his sister rather than us think though he doesn't like her, because of the dialogue between them we see that he actually does love her.
  • The girl holding the cake of the hand in the end of the film is very touching detail the director adds, because  she promises him a surprised. This is  touching because you see the girl loves and looks up to her brother only to see him in such a traumatized state   
  • The shots of his face when every he is almost caught out or asked to do something questionable, it shows he is battling with his inner demons 
  • I thought it was good in the film the way they never verbally mention the national front verbally but instead showed it thought the dress, attire and poster and stuff. this made it seem more normal like it is everyday life, which needs no explanation 
  • When he uses the NF lighter he pauses for a second and its almost like he is contemplating using it but when he does its like accepting the lifestyle of a racist for himself
